6 4 Easylon Interfaces Easylon Interfaces Connecting to LonWorks and CEA Networks A multitude of Easylon products is designated to access the data of LonWorks or CEA compatible networks for distributed, intelligent automation; especially the Easylon interfaces and Easylon software, such as the OPC server or the RNI capability of the Easylon interfaces. Design and scope of performance of the Easylon interfaces are designated to the highest demands. We attach great importance to ability of use, especially in industrial applications, support of current operating systems, support of current bus systems and latest technical developments, usability in LonWorks networks either with or without LNS, the needs of users that have to access these interfaces with their own applications, the customers desire for products with most simple usability. These are the reasons why each and any Easylon interface offers a variety of variants though they have a lot in common, as compiled in the following. However, shouldn t you be able to trace the solution you are looking for just ask us. Maybe we already realized the solution for your problem for another customer in the past or it is already under development. LonWorks and CEA The ANSI/CEA standard Control Network Protocol Specification describes the LonTalk protocol underlying the LonWorks technology. Based on this specification and licensed by Echelon Corp. network nodes can be developed independent of the Neuron Chip otherwise mandatory. Gesytec is offering CEA based products: the Interfaces +. The plus is indicating that there is to be expected more than from a stand LonWorks node. The technology is as well described by the European standard EN Interfaces + Technically the plus products realize the control network functionality on chip different from the Neuron Chip. For the interfaces this means a separation into a physical and a logical part, also referred to as virtual network interface (VNI). With respect to a typical Easylon Interface + card for a PC this means that the card implements protocol layers 1 and 2 of the interface while the PC realizes layers 3 to 7. Several advantages arise from this: The performance of modern PCs and servers can be used. On the interface card a powerful processor and sufficient buffer can be used. The PC receives all messages. Time stamps can be set. The PC sends messages with any source address. The PC emulates several (currently up to 8) logical interfaces, each having a node-id of its own. Ordinary drivers are used to access the interface. Several programs can access the interface hardware in parallel. 16 bit programs as well as 32 bit or 64 bit programs can be used. In practice this means: All PC applications previously used can be used further on without modifications. Compatibility with Echelon interfaces. Parallel transactions in MIP mode. Up to eight applications can access the network in parallel. In addition to the normal applications network analysis and network management can be run. A larger number of address table entries can be used. There is an efficient hardware interface. Any Easylon Interfaces + is the hardware basis for the Easylon Analyzer.

7 Easylon Interfaces 5 Easylon Interfaces General Properties Drivers Windows operating systems from Windows 2000 to the current ones are supported, for 32 bit and 64 bit systems. This refers as well to Windows CE. For some cards even older drivers for Windows 95 and 98, NT, ME or DOS are available. These, however, are no longer supported and are provided without warranty. Using the drivers the user can assign driver names at will. This is as well advantageous with older systems and applications requiring a systematical naming when using several interfaces (LON1, LON2, ) as with distributed applications, which are accessed by the driver name, e.g. accessing remote systems via RNI. Then descriptive names can be used. Linux drivers are provided too for most of the interfaces. They come in source code for different kernel versions. Driver updates and versions for the latest operating systems can be downloaded any time from the support pages of the Gesytec web site. If you want others than the standard, feel free to ask. MIP or NSI Firmware Tools for Development and Commissioning Several tools are provided to support setting up the interfaces for operation. Problems eventually arising can thus easily be tracked down. Developers appreciate that Easylon Interfaces support a debug mode, helpful with testing new applications. EasyCheck, for instance, is a small, versatile utility for setup and diagnosis of Easylon interfaces. Basic tests and configurations, such as setting LonWorks address, mode and buffers, can easily be performed with EasyCheck. Communication tests can be performed by sending and receiving service pin messages. A higher level feature is scanning a domain for attached nodes. Performance tests will compare the speed of two interfaces. EasyCheck also shows the versions of all Easylon software installed on the PC. Easylon IMaC, the Interface Management Center, offers everything you need for the configuration of LonWorks interfaces. Not only PC cards and external LonTalk adapters can be handled but as well the Easylon Remote Network Interface (Easylon RNI) and the Easylon IP Interface, the software interface to the LON IP channel. Both programs are included in the Easylon Interface delivery. To be able to operate as a network interface the Neuron Chip requires a special firmware. Two types are available: MIP and NSI. The NSI firmware is required if the interface is to be used by LNS based applications, e. g. a network management tool. This especially applies for older LNS versions up to 2.x. LNS 3.x version programs should use an Interface +, as these offer a better performance. Interfaces running MIP firmware can be used for all other applications, e.g. the Easylon OPC Server M. Transceiver In their standard version Easylon Interfaces come with a free topology TP/FT (FTT-10A) or FTX smart transceiver. Some interfaces are additionally available in standard variants with transformer coupled twisted pair transceiver (TP/XF-78 or TP/XF-1250). Depending on the interface type OEM variants with EIA-485 or Direct Connect (DC) transceiver can be realized. Most of the EIA-485 interfaces provide galvanic isolation. For details concerning available transceivers and drivers, please refer to the technical specifications of the different interface devices. Remote Network Interface (RNI) This software for remote access from a networked PC (LAN, Internet) via TCP/IP to the interface devices at a LonWorks or CEA compatible network is part of the scope of delivery of the Easylon interfaces. This is the smartest solution to realize network management tasks in a distant network from your office PC. You will find more details in the product description on page 11. WLDV32.DLL The WLDV32.DLL, being part of the Easylon interface scope of delivery, offers a 32 bit driver interface for Windows operating systems including CE. Nowadays the program package also covers 64 bit applications. The WLDV32.DLL is as well available separately for use with interfaces from other manufacturers.

12 10 Easylon Interfaces Easylon IP Interface + CEA-852 Compatible Network Interface LON over IP VNI and MIP interface Compatible with existing interfaces Parallel transactions in MIP mode Standard applications now with LON/IP Up to 8 clients Technical Features Node-ID in USB Dongle Drivers for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, Server 2003, 2008, 2008 R2, all for 32 and 64 bit systems, CE 4.2, CE 5.0, CE 6.0 Linux Kernel 2.4, 2.6 others on request Easylon IP Interface + CEA-852 compatible driver software P.S20401 LON/ IP (CEA-852) The Easylon IP Interface + operates according to the EIA/CEA-852 standard. As software running on Windows PCs it provides a standard network interface to CEA compatible networks. LON/ FT-10 (CEA-709) IP LON Drivers for this interface provide the same functionality as other Easylon interfaces, thus enabling all applications operating with standard interfaces for LON over IP. The Easylon IP Interface + operates as a VNI interface. The drivers can also provide MIP interfaces. In an extended MIP mode 16 parallel transactions are possible for sending. Thereby performance is considerably increased. Up to eight client applications can use the interface simultaneously. Even old 16 bit applications can use this interface. Furthermore it can be used with the Easylon Analyzer software. With the Easylon IP Interface + applications become LON/IP enabled. This LON over IP solution allows task processing on different computers integrated into local and global IP structures. Backbones of larger facilities can thus be realized via Ethernet. Connecting to TP/FT LonWorks networks requires a suitable LON/IP router, such as the Easylon Router +. The interface is, of course, compatible with all LON/IP routers. Info Standards and Names CEA-709 CEA-852 Communication protocol standard (ANSI/EIA), LonWorks compatible; corresponding European standard: EN Standard for an Ethernet based communication protocol equivalent to LonWorks (ANSI/EIA/CEA), corresponding European standard: EN14908 part 4 DIN EN Open data communication in building automation, controls and building management ; European standard for LonWorks equivalent communication protocol; LON over IP Usage of Ethernet / IP channel for LonWorks protocol transfer.

13 Easylon Remote Network Interface Driver software P.S20101 Software is included in the scope of delivery of Easylon interfaces. Separate orders are necessary only for interfaces of other manufacturers. Easylon Interfaces 11 Easylon Remote Network Interface TCP/IP Access to Distant LonWorks Networks Software for remote access to LonWorks networks Standard with all Easylon interfaces and Easylon Interfaces + Network management, status monitoring via standard PC communication TCP/IP Similar to a server Easylon Remote Network Interface (RNI) enables access via a TCP/IP or dial-up connection to a PC LonWorks interface device from a remote PC. Target hardware on the network side can be a usual LonTalk adapter in a PC as well as a standalone device such as the Easylon Router +. Thus remote access to LonWorks data either via LAN or the internet is easily achieved. Status monitoring, maintenance, download of modified programs all this can be done from a remote PC with Internet connection using the RNI software. Requirements: a PC with Internet access, Easylon Interface and the RNI software at the LonWorks network Handling The RNI driver can logically represent several LonWorks interfaces. For each the IP address of the RNI server is entered and, if required, an additional phone number for the connection via the Windows dial-up network. Thus logical LonWorks interfaces can be assigned to different remote servers. By selecting the desired LonWorks interface in a LonWorks tool the connection to a specific remote server can be established. Existing systems can be upgraded easily and free of charge by installing the latest drivers and the RNI software. The RNI driver software required for the remote PC can also be installed quickly and subsequently you can handle network management or use data in visualization programs from your networked desktop. The RNI access method is standard with the Easylon Interfaces + as well. Easylon RNI is especially of interest for LonWorks networks without LNS usage, which otherwise can hardly be accessed via TCP/IP. Easylon RNI is available free of charge for all Easylon interfaces and at a minor license fee for PC-LonWorks interfaces from other manufacturers.

18 16 Easylon Software Requirements and Recommendations Easylon Analyzer Diagnosis and Management of LonWorks Networks Operates on unknown networks Detailed message information Consistency reports and transaction analysis Detailed node information and manipulation For Windows operating systems Windows PC with XP, Vista, 7, or Server 2003, operating system Easylon Interface + or Echelon VNI interface for network access. Easylon Interfaces + allow simultaneous operation with other programs. The 1-ms-time-stamps require these interfaces, too. Easylon Analyzer Software for use with Easylon Interface + Software for use with third party interface P.S10501 P.S10502 The Easylon Analyzer is the pro s software tool to thoroughly investigate LonWorks network communication and nodes properties. In combination with Interfaces + or VNI interfaces from other vendors this Windows PC based program gives insight into network behavior. The advantage of Easylon Interfaces + is their capability to run network analysis in parallel with other programs. The Analyzer software offers comprehensive and flexible methods for data analysis. Specialists intimate with LonWorks technology appreciate the Easylon Analyzer for its in-depth operations even allowing manipulation of the Neuron s memory. This diagnosis tool supports installation and maintenance of LonWorks networks by lots of useful features. All messages on the screen The Easylon Analyzer records all network traffic and displays the messages with all relevant information. Network variable (NV) updates are displayed with correctly formatted values facilitating the immediate understanding of messages. Detailed information 1-ms time stamps, sequence and transaction numbers, service type, source and destination addresses, text display with NV names and values formatted according to SNVT type, hex dump and CRC errors. Trigger and filter to find relevant events In order to sift out essential information from the mass of data, the Easylon Analyzer allows filtering according to address- and NV-parameters, triggering dependent on filters and logical combinations of filters and triggers. LNS database is not required The Easylon Analyzer operates on unknown networks. All relevant information is collected either by monitoring network traffic or via a scan and upload. Consistency report and transaction analysis Are there quirks in your network? The Easylon Analyzer s consistency report tracks down nodes which have not been installed, addresses which have been assigned twice, incomplete bindings and similar problems, which other-wise would remain hidden. The transaction analysis displays erroneous transfers. In-depth network node information - The nodes list contains all detected nodes, with address information, location and self-documentation - The node information contains all structures of the Neuron Chip - Node commands comprise wink, reset, on-line, off-line, EEBlank, set location and even allow writing to the Neuron s memory.

19 Easylon Software 17 Easylon OPC Server The OPC Server for LonWorks The OPC technology presents a standard for visualization and monitoring systems to access field level data. By this standardized interface SCADA systems communicate with PLCs and field busses. Production level data are thus integrated into office applications. Even data exchange with other field bus systems is made this way. Operating Systems The Easylon OPC Server M is a Windows application for PCs with Windows 2000 and later. It does not require an LNS Server at the network and can operate on unknown networks. Demo Versions A demo version of the OPC Servers M is available from the internet. This version offers full functionality; however, it has a limited runtime. By purchasing a license key this version can be activated for regular operation. Licensing There are large networks and small ones. Therefore the Easylon OPC Server can be licensed in different scales, depending on the number of NVs monitored. Details you will find in the price list. The license key is always bound to the node-id of the interface used to access the LonWorks network. Technical Features OPC server for OPC Data Access V2.05a OPC browser hierarchical or flat Single fields in structured data types can be accessed Optionally running as service Multiple instances Tree view of the network The Easylon OPC Server was the first OPC server for LonWorks. Since that time it underwent continuous modifications and improvements. OPC servers operate in a client/server architecture. The Easylon OPC Server runs on a PC at the LonWorks network. In an always updated database it provides information about the LonWorks network objects (nodes, network variables) as OPC objects and realizes packaging, conversion and update of these objects. Simulation mode with generation of off-line values Value writing out of the OPC server Examples for Excel and Visual Basic As server the Easylon OPC Server accepts subscriptions from several clients and takes care of updating subscribed NV s as soon as their values change within the LonWorks network or due to external settings. The Easylon OPC Server enables any OPC Client to access the Lon- Works network. It is compliant with the OPC Data Access Specification. Compatibility with many clients has been proven in hundreds of customer applications all over the world and in special interoperability workshops of the OPC Foundation Next to the use with standard client software for visualization simple client solutions can easily be realized. Examples for use with Office programs and Visual Basic are provided. Of course the OPC servers can be simultaneously used by several clients. As customary with OPC, clients on other PCs can access the Easylon OPC Server via the PC network.

20 18 Easylon Software Easylon OPC Server M OPC Server for all LonWorks Networks Reliable OPC server for data access Operates with unknown networks Network variable browser Diagnosis features, simulation mode Binding support LNS PlugIn provided The Easylon OPC Server M gives any OPC client access to LonWorks networks. It is characterized by its intuitional and practical handling. The software is optimal solution for networks at which an LNS server is not permanently present. Up to eight instances of the OPC Server can be installed in parallel on one PC. This allows simultaneous access to several LonWorks networks. Technical Features Unlimited network size Data access by polling or binding Network variables and configuration properties supported SNVT/SCPT and UNVT/UCPT supported Single fields in structured data types can be accessed Scan/upload of LonWorks network for automatic configuration Documented Microsoft Access database format Tree representation of the network Diagnosis of OPC interface, LonWorks interface and Lon- Works devices Simulation mode Value writing out of the OPC Server Parameterization of log file Detailed settings for time response and OPC data types XIF editor for variable definition provided Up to eight instances on one PC System Requirements Microsoft Windows 2000 or later PC: 500 MHz Pentium, 32 MB disk space, 128 MB RAM Standard LonWorks interface (no i.lon, Easylon Interface + recommended) LNS 3.0 or later, for use of LNS PlugIn Easylon OPC Server M The Easylon OPC Server M is available in different licenses, depending on the number of network variables (NV) monitored. Full license P.S10301 Limited to 50 NVs P.S10302 Limited to 150 NVs P.S10303 Limited to 600 NVs P.S10304 The Easylon OPC Server M learns about the network structure and all relevant node information by scan and upload. This information is stored in a MS Access database. Alternatively an LNS PlugIn can be used to export this database from a network management tool. In a tree view of the network topology all nodes are listed with network variables (NV) and configuration properties. The monitoring mode dynamically displays the values of these variables. Furthermore, values can be written into the nodes from this view. A very helpful feature while commissioning a network. The OPC browser displays available values in the same hierarchy as the OPC server itself, thus realizing a universal naming structure of the values. The OPC server reports its usage by clients, stating the connected clients and the respective groups and items defined. A further diagnosis feature is the extensive log file, the contents of which can be parameterized. Usually the OPC server gets current values by explicit requests. Furthermore it is possible to define bindings. The XIF editor allows setting NVs for the OPC server itself. Thus the OPC server will become a LonWorks node to which values from the network can be bound. This is especially recommended for failure messages and alarms. Using output variables in the OPC server commands can be issued by group binding to several nodes at the same time. This reduces programming for the visualization.
